Linear Regression

ˈlɪniər rɪˈɡreɪʃən

Linear regression is a statistical method used to model the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. It assumes that there is a linear relationship between the variables, meaning that changes in the independent variable(s) will result in proportional changes in the dependent variable. This technique is widely used in predictive modeling and forecasting, allowing analysts to make predictions based on historical data. Common use cases include finance for predicting stock prices, economics for estimating consumer demand, and various fields of science for analyzing experimental data.
